Rules:

1) You can be either a canon or OC (original character).

(For made up characters)

2) Try to make your character different, but not a complete alien. Like, every character doesn't have to be a friend of the Trio's kids or white, but no purple eyes or sth weird like that, please. Stay in the limits of the magical world.

3) Limit information. I love putting a lot of information, too, but in all honesty? No one really cares about the essays we write in our forms. Try to minimise that kind of stuff.

4) Put all the information in one big text, mentioning which category it's for.

(Once the roleplay begins)

5) For canon...stay in character! Don't do things you're not sure the character would do. Try your best to understand the character.

6) No cussing.

7) No mature themes (a little kissing and stuff is fine).

8) No hate. Keep it respectful at all times, please. Unless it's just the characters.

Forms:

~Name.

~Year.

~House.

~Blood Status.

~Appearance [remember, not too much info. Hair, eyes, skin color, height (no measurements), weight (no measurements), one or two other distingushing features if you want].

~Personality (again, not too many details, and you can put some interests in here if you want).

~Gender.

~Sexuality.

~Relationship status: [(rules for this below) in one with ___, don't want one, sadly no, later or crushing on ____]

~Friends (rules for this below).

~Enemies (no Death Eaters/Voldemort/Umbridge since that time is long gone).

~Family.

~Pets (optional) (the only time I'm bending the rules a bit; you can take any animal mentioned in the Diagon Alley shop where the Trio go in their third year, as well as a toad/cat/owl).

~Occupation (s) (examples: Slytherin Seeker, Prefect, Gobstones player. You can't be in a position someone else has already taken, obviously).

More stuff:

~Comment any questions you have.

~You can not be a part of the roleplay until I approve of your form.

~If you want to have a canon character, check that no one else has commented that they want to have so-and-so.

~Canon friendships and relationships can not be broken up permanently.

~If you have a canon character, you have to have them remain in the same friendships and relationships they were in in the epilogue, but they can have not-mentioned friendships and relationships with canon characters too. They can also be a friend of/dating an OC.

~OCs can date other OCs/single canon characters with permission.

~OCs can be friends with OCs with permission.

~OCs can be friends with canon characters without permission.

~Your OC can be the child of a canon couple JKR hasn't mentioned has kids.

~No more than two characters per person. If you have two characters, they can't both be the same gender. So try to include guys or someone agender or sth if you want.

...I hope that wasn't too many rules.
